After Ro left Cyndi tapped her com-badge "Commander O'Connell this is the commodore, can you meet me at the pavilion I have something I need to discuss with you."

O'Connell had just finished reassembling and testing the two phaser rifles when his Comm went off "On my way Commodore" Jamie replied then hustled tp the Transporter Room to beam down to the pavilion wondering what was going on.

Walking over to where Cyndi was "Commodore you wanted to see me" Commander O'Connell asked.

"I did commander, please have a seat," Cyndi said "I'm in need of a temporary first officer. Commander Green has requested a week off for personal reasons, she's on her way To Earth and considering your well used to being a first officer I'd like you to take over until she returns."

"Certainly Commodore, I can manage that while Commander Green is gone. Maybe this time we won't have Romulans chasing our tail" Jamie answered with a chuckle interested in seeing if Cyndi had a sense of humor.

"I doubt we'll have trouble wit them anytime soon," Cyndi laughed "Lieutenant Herculoid is going to work on treaty and peace talks with them. She's not happy but it has to be done."

The Commander was a little confused at the moment after what the Commodore had just said "If I may Inquire....how is it an Assistant Science Chief can broker peace talks....that seems a little out of her wheel house, sort to speak."

"Tara and I are both Princesses, our titles are on hold and we have signed documentation to that fact. Her home planet Amzock was invaded and occupied by the Romulan Empire for a few years. There is distrust between both worlds and the only way to get it resolved is to broker peace talks. She is more than qualified for it she's just not happy about it. Her plant's future depends on this and it will be a good learning experience for her," Cyndi said.

"That makes sense.....I didn't mean to pry I was just curious" he stated, then with a grin "So not only am I working with a Commodore but Royalty as well."

"Your working with a commodore," Cyndi replied. "Told you that in confidence. There is no royalty in Starfleet. My son is royalty not me, not until I retire from Starfleet so you're stuck with me " she joked.

"You're secret is safe with me" Jamie replied with a grin "By the time you retire I'm sure I'll be retired as well; so until then I'm more than happy to working with a Commodore."

"I plan to work until Starfleet tells me otherwise. I love what I'm doing," Cyndi commented.

"As much as I like what I'm doing, when Heather wants to settle down and have a normal life that's when we'll both leave Star Fleet; but until then we're both committed to what we do" Jamie replied hoping he was making sense.

"I'd love another child, we have a son who is on Klavor under the care of my parents. Paul and I both know he'd be save with us but my schedule does not give enough time to devote to him," Cyndi said "If I do end up pregnant we'll welcome it."

"Hopefully Star Fleet makes a uniform for such occasion" he replied with a grin, then was a little more serious "I'm not sure if children are in the cards for us; but certainly not while we're both serving on a Ship.....I mean we've discussed it and we both agree this type of life is not conducive to raising a family."

Cyndi nodded "That's why our son is safe on Klavor," Cyndi responded
